Movie Description
When five high school students from different social groups are forced to spend a Saturday together in detention, they find themselves interacting with and understanding each other for the first time. A jock (Emilio Estevez), a criminal (Judd Nelson), a princess (Molly Ringwald), a basket case (Ally Sheedy), and a brain (Anthony Michael Hall) talk about everything from parental tension to sex to peer pressure to hurtful stereotypes while serving time. Ultimately, the five find that they may have more in common than they ever imagined and learn more about themselves as well as each other. The only question is, Will they remember what they've learned after they leave detention? Director and writer John Hughes, along with the stellar Brat Pack, cast makes this a memorable, moving film filled with believable dialogue, intelligent humor, and a sufficient dose of high school hijinx. Its timeless appeal makes this film a teen classic along with Hughes's other teen films from the 1980s: SIXTEEN CANDLES and FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF. A great soundtrack features the hit "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds.

    This Film is a classic about a group of high schoolers on detention with all the stereotypical roles being casted, the jock, the queen, the outcast, the geek, the stoner!! Though a day on detention anywhere else would never be like the one Hollywood has portrayed it certainly is an enjoyable soul-searching coming of age film. To call it a comedy alone would be an injustice as it has many of the elements as found in dramas. A keeper for sure but perhaps better in the DVD format!
